As a SerDes Physical Implementation, Staff Engineer, the successful candidate will work on a variety of advanced SERDES developments including the latest 56/112/224G standards. The digital implementation organization is seeking a motivated person responsible for the physical implementation of complex IPs and testchips across multiple process technologies with a specific focus on very advanced high speed SERDES platforms.

In this role, you will be responsible for the Physical Implementation of high speed interface IPs and test-chips, driving all aspects from RTL to GDS including timing and physical sign-off. You will work in close interaction and collaborative team work with multiple functional groups (front end digital, analog design and layout, CAD) and the product team.

The successful candidate will have the following: 10 + years of digital or physical design experience with recent contribution to project tape-outs, as a technical driver and/or project head.

• Intimate understanding of the full design cycle from RTL to GDSII, including chip level.
• Experience with advanced FinFET nodes, TSMC 16 nanometer or below, including low-power design techniques
• A solid engineering understanding of the underlying concepts of digital design and architecture, implementation flows and physical and timing signoff
• Development of timing constraints and design architectures to ensure on-time delivery, and to meet or exceed power and area targets
• Excellent communication skills, ability to think and communicate at different levels of abstraction, with peer groups as well as customers.
• Methodology guided with excellent software and scripting skills (Perl, Tcl, Python); understanding of CAD automation methods.
• Solid understanding of the challenges inherent in analog/digital interfaces.
• Autonomous, and able to cope with interrupts.

Requirements:

• MSEE and 8+ years or BSEE and 10+ years
• Previous project leadership experience
• Solid understanding of digital / mixed signal verification flows and SOC integration challenges.
• Ability to travel internationally as required.
